Lonely Planet review

Late 19th-century archaeologists dug up some excellent finds, some of which made their way into the Staatliches Museum Ägyptischer Kunst. It's in the NW wing of the Residenz (look for the obelisk) and has a small but choice collection of sculpture, jewellery, vases and other objects from 5000 years of art in ancient Egypt. Highlights include the gilded coffin mask of Queen Sat-dejhutji (1650 BC) and a rare double statue of King Niuserre (2390 BC) showing him both as a young and an old man.
